Just wondering, as a person who wants to really get into the game, should I get three core sets to get every card? Or is it not really necessary?

Especially if you are looking to play casually with friends, rather than competitively against others who have their own collections, two core sets is highly recommended as the preset Houses are not well balanced within just one core set.

I would actually move on to the big box expansion sets for the different families....Kings of the sea (Greyjoy), Princes of the sun(Martell), Queen of Dragons(Targaryen), Kings of the storm (Baratheon), Lords of Winder(Stark) etc. etc. and then check out a site like cardgameDB.com for some good deck lists. Once you are comfortable with the game I would start looking into customizing with the chapter packs. I think the third core set would be largely redundant but for maybe one or two cards unless you have a friend who really wants to play the same family as you.

I found this post at Board Game Geek to be particularly insightful and would probably follow his guide.http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/592228/so-im-considering-getting-into-agot-lcg-your-compr

I personally only have the one. But I heard 2 core sets is recommended. It will give you more flexibility when creating your decks.

I only puchased 1 core set myself and all the expansions. Fantasy Flight says you should get 2 to start with.

I purchased the core set and then built up with the expansions. I found it gave a little more flexibility and depth to the play. If I recall correctly, there's a fair amount of redundancy with the cards in the core set. You can certainly get by with just one core set for starters, though, if you just want to try it out.

Maybe, when my son got this, there was a few cards he didn't get from the set. There were a few multiples of certain cards. Hope that helps.

I would get the starting game as well, the reason being that after you play a deck for so long you start to know all of the cards. The expansions are only a small fraction of the real game, so you will likely reach that point faster. I would recommend getting as many cards as possible so that you are never running out of things or seeing certain cards too many times. Makes the games more creative as well!

I'd say more older sets because there are more of those than new, but you usually get a decent amount of new ones. I think someone messed up with the last one I got because it was half gate crash (woo!). If you're looking for new cards look at your local shops for bundles or just buy boosters

In my opinion it's not worth it to buy multiples. I was disappointed to buy the one since I did get a few doubles in the 1 set. Also they were all random and card from most of the sets. It's almost seems like someone already picked threw the cards, took out what they wanted then sent you the rest. If your just wanting to build your collection go ahead and buy it, but if your looking for specific cards or cards for a specific clan I would either just buy the cards individually or buy a box with the clan you need in it.

We wouldn't recommend playing with just the expansions because 1) they're small and the jokes will get old too quickly, and 2) the writing in the expansions is designed to compliment the main game, so you're getting a set of cards that are bottom-heavy on jokes and which are intended for more experienced players. Then again, you can do whatever you want. We're not the boss of you.

It is a 215 card set and in a box you will be getting a total of 180 cards. Personally I only got a few doubles, most of which were a common version and a mosaic one. There will be a chance you get 3 copies of a card but not as common as it would be from a booster box of a smaller set where you tend to get a lot of common cards 3-6 times.

It does not include those cards. Maybe in an expansion. Not sure if you've bought the game yet or not. In my opinion, as a deck-builder, there are games that are way more fun out there. The cards however are beautiful and unique. Hence, I'm breaking these sets down and selling the cards only as collectibles online at www.nuckelheads-toys-and-games.com. They should be listed shortly. I hope that answers your question.

I would say so you most likely won't get any theros or born of the gods but you will get some return to ravnica and gate crash and some dungeon maze but most of the cards I got were in the middle some old, some new but most were from blocks that weren't really old but they weren't really new either so don't expect cards that you can use in standard. expect some good commons and maybe some uncommons hope that helps

I'd say to buy them all, either get them all at once or as you start to remember certain cards which would diminish the fun. One pack doesn't stand out as anything special but the game itself it a good time by all.

Yes it does, however the set content is subject to change. That means while those cards are within the set, you are not guaranteed to get those cards when you buy one package.

I assume you asking about battling? This is more for collecting, for a new player I would recommend buying a starter deck from a local store, like Walmart, or at a card shop.

It is a good deal if you aren't super competitive. The cards are older and there will be more duplicates than you can use. You will probably need to add basic land cards. But I have bought a couple of these packs and am planning on buying a pack for my nephew. It is a good way to get cards to split amongst friends.

Yes. I would get 2 decks. It's such a fast game only 2 people can play at a time.

I think I got three pairs of duplicates witch one contained three of the same card. The cards you get with this deal are a good base for your deck. But their are no high level/attack cards to base around. So if you got alone of high level cards that need cards to support them then this is for you. But else, you will then need to get some stronger cards. This is off of my experience with my order and as the description says, it is royalty random. So I cannot guarantee that you will get the same amount of duplicates as I did, or any other amount.

Each expansion adds new cards to the mix. It's not necessary but I definitely recommend picking up all 3 if you are a fan of the game.
